This has nothing to do with RCS from what I read on the article. It looks like the UK wants to be able to tell companies to disable security features such as End to End Encryption so that they can view the messages.

    Whatsapp is under the same rules and has said they'd leave too.. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/may/08/whatsapp-could-disappear-uk-over-privacy-concerns-ministers-told

    But although it's popular it's nowhere near everyone using it.. I have about 2 whatsapp contacts and one of those is a mailing list. Most people I know use FB messenger. A few signal.. It really depends on who your friend groups are..
